Our Mission

Our mission is to provide professional restoration, conservation, and maintenance solutions for art and architecture created in modern metal to preserve each work’s value and beauty for the enjoyment of current and future generations.

Our Promise

Art and architectural objects treated and maintained by Metalabs experts are guaranteed. We care deeply about the preservation of artwork for the benefit of current and future generations. While under a Metalabs maintenance contract, artwork is warrantied against corrosion through attentive, preventive care. Our team continually strives to ensure a positive customer experience.

If, for any reason, you are not satisfied, we will make it right.
